Rules Questions / Calling Multiples Guides on the Same Turn
« on: August 17, 2015, 11:47:06 pm »
If I have multiple guides on the tavern mat at the start of my turn, can I call a guide, get a new hand, then decide to call another guide from my tavern mat?
I did that multiple times in a game tonight because I had many guides (+$1 token on guide pile) on the tavern mat. Halfway through the game my friend re-read guide and thought that I was playing it in correctly, arguing that once I called the first guide, it was no longer the start of my turn so I couldn't call a second (or third, etc.) guide. He said that since I can decide the order in which things happen at the start of the turn, I could decide to call more than 1 guide, but I would have to decide the amount before I called the first one and saw my new hand. I think he is correct. Is he?
It comes down to when does the "start of my turn" end? (assuming we understand everything else correctly). Does the "start of my turn" end after I call the first guide? By similar ruling, if I had a guide and a rat catcher on the tavern mat, I would have to decide to play rat catcher before I saw my new hand from calling guide, because I had to choose the order (1. guide 2. rat catcher) before I played the guide.
